This 30-Minute Rice Noodle Soup recipe is great for last minute meals. The mushrooms and kale are not only healthy, but add fantastic flavor!

I wish I could say that I’m one of those people who has my meal plan for the coming week beautifully laid out by Sunday evening, ready for an efficient, once a week (ha!) trip to the grocery store.

*Pop* Dream over.

In reality, it’s 5pm on a weekday and I have no flippin’ idea what I’m making for dinner. If I’m lucky, I may have thought to defrost some chicken or salmon earlier in the day, or picked up some ground turkey or pork chops during my all-too-regular grocery runs.

Brown Rice Noodles

And then there are the times when I’m not even organized enough to defrost or purchase (humor me and tell me I’m not the only one!) At that point, a mad scrabble through the pantry ensues. For those of us who are organizationally challenged, a well-stocked pantry is a necessity. Well, unless your family is okay with eating sandwiches or scrambled eggs every night. That would never happen in my house.

(Hark, how large thou nose doth grow!)

One of our pantry staples is rice noodles, either for soups like this one or one of our favorite dinners, Rice Noodles with Chicken, Asparagus & Soy Ginger Sauce. Either dish takes only 20 to 30 minutes to prepare, but I look like a rock star because my family thinks that rice noodles are from heaven.

This soup is one of those meals that will warm you to your toes, without being too heavy. Because the broth is so light, I happily eat this at any time of year. If you have leftovers, you may need to add a little more broth when you reheat the soup, as the noodles tend to absorb the liquid the longer they rest.
